PRESENT FACULTY • , Ronald F. Abler. I've returned to the womb for a couple of years to work with John Adams on the A.A.G. Comparative Metropolitan Analysis project. Rosella, the kids, and I are greatly enjoying the experience of living in a " good-sized city again (this time with some money even!), but at the same time we miss bucolic State College and our Penn State colleagues and friends. In between putting the Project Atlas (my major responsibility) together and teaching some courses, I'm trying to keep up my research on communications systems and their social and cultural effects, a topic I find more consuming with each passing year. John S. Adams. Directs (with Ron Abler) the A.A.G. Comparative Metropolitan Analysis Project; Acting Director of Urban Planning Program in the School of Public Affairs, and occasional member of the Geography Department. It's nice to have 3 jobs--when things get sufficiently insane in one place, I have a choice of alternative circuses. Russell B. Adams. After a summer of teaching and travel, took Fall Quarter leave to work, somewhat frustratedly, on programs and a quantitative textbook; also, some local consulting, project work, and articles. An estimated 15% of the time was spent on disordering and reordering office. Ward J. Barrett. Paper delivered in Rome at International Congress of Americanists, August 1972, with Stuart Schwartz of History Department; to be published in Spanish and English in Mexico. Title: Comparison of the .' Colonial Sugar Economices of Bahia, Brazil, and Morelos, Mexico. Paper to be delivered at Rocky Mountain Latin ~~erican Studies Conference in April: "Meat Supply of Cuernavaca, 1630-1811." Not sure about publication, yet. Hope to finish manuscript of monograph this summer, dealing with Geography of the Colonial Sugar Industry of Morelos, Mexico. Bonnie ?arton. Is developing her courses in the nature of explanation, human geography, and quantitative methods. John R. Borchert. Continues as Director of the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, and, this year, is managing to accomplish twelve times as much as other normal beings. Jan O. M. Broek. (Professor Emeritus) Last fall I became partly paralyzed because cancer of the left lung had spread to the motor area of the brain. Six weeks of cobalt radiation, followed by physical therapy, have done wonders. I can write again, walk, climb stairs, and might be able to do without a cane were it not for increasingly painful arthritis. Throughout this entire period Ruth has been a tower of strength. The many warm letters of sympathy ·. have helped us through a very difficult time. I am sorry we cannot join you on this occasion. Perhaps you will visit California before long. If so, we would be delighted to see you. · , Dwight A. Brown. Has NASA wrapped around his little finger (or is it the other way around). At any rate he still finds time to teach seminars and introductory physical geography. - 2 - ~ny R. de Souza. Has continued his interest in the study of development. At the moment he is assisting Philip Porter with a Resource Paper on "The Underdevelopment and Modernization of the Third World" which discusses the · , extent to which harmful conceptions of underdevelopment and development are guiding thinking and research on Third World Countries. He is also writing up the results of research on aspects of the urbanization process in Tanzania. Gene Desfor. Post-doctoral Fellow from the Department of Geography in the Interdisciplinary Program on Evaluation Methodology. Current research is focused on the development of station choice models for the Lindenwold High-Speed Line, a rapid transit line serving the Philadelphia suburbs in southern New Jersey. John Fraser Hart. Continues to produce travelogues for undergraduates, make seminars miserable for graduate students, and write nasty letters to authors who have submitted manuscripts to the Annals. He is still trying to find a bit of time to complete The Look of th,;J:and, with less luck than ever. Richard Hartshorne. I have been at the University of Wisconsin since leaving the department at Minnesota in 1940. In 1970 I became Emeritus Professor. In 1971 Clark University awarded me the honorary degree, LL.D.; the tollowing year I received the Distinguished Service Award of the Pierce County Geographical Society. My wife, Lois Wilde Hartshorne, married in Minneapolis in 1929, died in February 1972. Our three daughters are each married and have one or two children each, for a total of four grandchildren. This spring I am to return to the University of Minnesota, half-time, to join Fred Lukermann in conducting the seminar in the History of Geographic Thought. Mei-Ling Hsu. Is enjoying the mild winters of Washington. Stuart R. Loomis. Current teaching interests are represented by the range of courses I have been involved with the last couple of years: introductory physical geography, landform geography, climatology, glacial/periglacial geomorphology, cartography, Twin Cities geography, and metropolitan areas seminar on physical environmental problems. Primary research efforts are presently focused on the completion of an Alaskan glacial study. This study examines the structure, morphology and energy regime of ice-cored moraines in an area of recent alpine'glaciation. It is hoped that the results of this study will give more detailed insight into one mode of glacial deposition which created landforms characterizing phases of Wisconsin time continental glaciers. ·. Fred E. Lukermann. He missed the deadline again? ·. - 3 - Cotton Mather. Is brushing up carl Sauer's well-known treatise on Kentucky's Pennyroyal Region; this will be published this raIl together with 25 pp. or introductory remarks by Fraser Hart. Mather recently went as a . , fugitive to Costa Rica and Guatemala but by silent assent is contritely back in the Minnesota classroom until the graduate student field seminar convenes in June in Wisconsin. As Lukermann has so sagaciously stated, "you can lead a horse to water but it won't affect the administration." Which reminds us all that if these Social Science Building blokes ever get our air conditioning rinally installed, we'll really have a cool department. (P.S. - This request of 100 words necessitated some riller material in this instance. ) Philip W. Porter. Is winding up the second year of his stay at BRALUP. Welcome back. John G. Rice. Arter a round of office swapping, is finishing a monograph and starting a book. Joseph E. SchwartzbeE2. For the sixth consecutive year the South Asia Historical Atlas Project is entering its rinal phase. To coordinate the activities or the Atlas starr (myselr and Mrs. Schwartzberg, working halr­ time on the Project) I have taken leave ror the academic year and together we are pushing forward inexorably towards the light at the end or the tunnel. Currently I am also working on a paper on the size and duration of pre-modern Indian states a part or which will rind its way into the Atlas' introduction. ~fuen not pondering India's past, I do what I can to promote the idea or rederal world government on and off campus, having organized a seventeen-week discussion workshop on that subject. Earl P. Scott. Continues his research on Africa, his heavy load of advising, and numerous comnlunity activities. Richard H. Skaggs. Continues work on drought in the United States and on air pollution rrom point sources. Analysis of ERTS-l inrormation ror NASA provides interesting and often frustrating breaks between teaching classes in physical geography, climatology, and quantitative methods. Roderick H. Squires. General interest in the biological aspect of man's environment with a specialized interest in the evolution of this environment. My current activities include teaching and on-going research projects in northern England (human interrerence & vegetation development) and north­ eastern Minnesota (post settlement vegetational history). Currently engaged in earning a living in the most pleasant way I know how! Yi-Fu Tuan. Continues to gaze out of his office window, rrom the fifth floor of Social Science Building, for at least five minutes everyday. To reach the observation point he either has to climb five rlights of steps or ride in a wheezy, asthmatic elevator at the risk of his life.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The study discusses ways in which different people at different times viewed wetland environments, appraised their potential value, contrived to transform them by draining and farming or protect them as wildlife refuges and places for outdoor recreation. It traces changes in peoples’ perceptions, critically examining literary evidence for changing attitudes towards wetlands in seven Midwest states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Views of places described by travellers, landowners, journalists and writers of fiction are compared with reports by federal and state officials, maps and statistical data. Changing scientific descriptions and classifications of the physical characteristics of wet prairies, swamps and bogs are reviewed. Important changes in the outlook of Indians followed their contact with Europeans.

  • The Cultural Geography Reader
    9780415418737_1_pre.qxd 28/1/08 3:36 PM Page i THE CULTURAL GEOGRAPHY READER There has been a rising interest in cultural geography as an academic discipline, with the so-called “cultural turn” in geography and social science more generally. To date, there has been no generally accessible, transatlantic overview that balances classic and contemporary writings in cultural geography and related fields. The Cultural Geography Reader draws together fifty-two classic and contemporary abridged readings, including contributions from Clifford Geertz, Doreen Massey, Peter Jackson, Alan Latham, J.B. Jackson, Gillian Rose, Clarence J. Glacken, Alexander Wilson, Liisa Malkki, Georg Simmel, Robyn Longhurst, Don Mitchell, Gill Valentine, and Lila Abu-Lughod. It is divided into eight parts – Approaching Culture; Cultural Geography: a Transatlantic Genealogy; Landscape; Nature; Identity and Place in a Global Context; Home and Away; Difference; Culture as Resource – that the editors feel represent the scope of the discipline and its key concepts. Readings were selected based on their originality, accessibility, and empirical focus, allowing students to grasp the conceptual and theoretical tools of cultural geography through the grounded research of leading scholars in the field. Each part begins with an introduction that discusses the key concepts, their history and relation to cultural geography, and connections to other disciplines and practices. Six to seven abridged book chapters and journal articles, each with their own focused intro- ductions, are also included in each part. The readability, broad scope, and coverage of both classic and contemporary pieces from the US and UK make The Cultural Geography Reader relevant and accessible for a broad audience of under- graduate students and graduate students alike.

Doctoral Programs; *Educational Demand; *Eddcational Supply; *Educational Trends; Emp ment Opportunities; Enrollment Influence *Geography; *Geography Instruction; Graduate Stud Higher Education; National Surveys; Productivity; Trend Analysis; Undergraduate Study ABSTRACT This/report supplements a 1966,report measuring trends in the production of geography graduates (see related document -SO 008 431). The statistical information in this report was collected from published sources and a questionnaire sent to geography department chairmen in 1971. The results of the questionnaire 'indicate a surplus of Ph.D. graduates in geography for the number of jobs available in the field. The number of degrees in geography at Sthe doctoral, master's, and baccalaureate levels is expected to double in the 1970s. College teaching remains the preemptive career choice of geographers, yet the surplus will encourage university administrators to hold down salaries, increase teaching loads, and defer tenure. Geographers formerly dependent upon college teaching jobs must develop alternative career opportunities. The ten largest geography departments granted over 50 percent of all doctoral degrees. The center of graduate activity is shifting to universities on the west coast. Urban geography, cultural geography, and economic geography are the most popular/topical specialities of contemporary graduate students.

  • From the Department Head
    January 2005 KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY No. 25 DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY FROM THE DEPARTMENT HEAD New Year’s greetings from your K-State geography community in Seaton Hall! No, it has not been a year since you last got a K-State geography Alumni Newsletter. The faculty decided to create a newsletter that would correspond with our annual reporting of calendar year accomplishments and be (hopefully) mailed out (and posted on the department web page) in January. It remains to be seen if we’ll have a second alumni newsletter this year in June. It has been a busy summer and fall semester. We continue to teach a lot of students about geography. We again had over 2,000 K-State students enrolled in a geography class this autumn, with over 1,000 of those in World Regional Geography (GEOG 100). Spring 2005 semester continues this trend. Tuition-based revenue is increasingly important at your alma mater. The faculty and students have been active in research and a number of K-State geographers have been in the news. Please check out the departmental web page (www.ksu.edu/geography) and click on “News” for links to these multiple media releases, our weekly (during the semester) Seaton Globe, and past Alumni Newsletters. I guess the biggest news is that Kevin Blake was elected to serve our Great Plains / Rocky Mountain region of the AAG as Regional Councilor. Dr. Blake’s term officially starts this coming summer, but rumor has it that the work has already started. It is a big help to the K-State geography community to have another insider (both a voice and an ear) with the AAG.
